-  * **Question:**  How can you prove that the orbit is actually circular?
+   * **Question:**  Can you simulate other trajectories with your program?
-  * **Expected Answer:**
-Aside from just eyeballing it, we can add in a graph of the distance from the center of Earth! (Moved to separate part C of the problem)

-  * **Question:**  Can you simulate other trajectories with your program?
   * **Expected Answer:**  We can change the initial conditions of radius and velocity to show this.

   * **Expected Answer:**  It is the step in time that passes every loop of the calculation loop.  Increasing the time step makes for a "rougher" approximation to the real world phenomenon.
